Chapter 80: The First Formal Confession
Xia Anqi was stunned, her mind racing.
She couldn't help but look at Ye Yixian in Lu Yuan's arms again.
Looking at her from left to right, up to down, I still can't see what charm Ye Yixian has that makes Lu Yuan like her so much.
She had heard a little about Ye Yixian, but it was all bad rumors. Why would someone like a girl with so much negative press like her deserve such affection?
As she pondered, Xia Anqi felt a pang of disappointment, but in an instant, that disappointment transformed into defiance.
Finally, her gaze returned to Lu Yuan, and their eyes met. After a long while, she said calmly, "Fine, I won't tell on you."
As she picked up the books scattered on the ground, she said, "But Lu Yuan, you'd better actually get some good grades in the second mock exam, otherwise I'll be the first to look down on you."
"Heh, then you don't need to worry about it."
Lu Yuan was not afraid at all; in fact, he was eager to try.
Xia Anqi picked up her books, neatly held them in her arms, stared at Ye Yixian with an unfriendly look, and said coldly, "Ye Yixian, right? Let's have a chat sometime. I want to see what makes you so special."
"What do you mean?"
Ye Yixian was puzzled and completely confused.
Xia Anqi refused to say more, turned and left, head held high, like a triumphant warrior.
After she left, Ye Yixian still didn't understand. She looked up at Lu Yuan and asked, "What happened to her? She suddenly seemed like a different person?"
"How would I know?"
Lu Yuan shrugged, completely unconcerned.
Only then did Ye Yixian realize that she was still in Lu Yuan's arms, being held tightly by him, and she was extremely shy.
Lu Yuan realized what was happening and released her with a smile.
The two of them put a little distance between themselves and took a few deep breaths to calm their agitated hearts.
Unfortunately, the bell rang, and evening self-study ended.
Soon, the campus will become lively, and there will be no more such quiet corners.
Lu Yuan could only walk side by side with Ye Yixian, preparing to go back to rest.
Throughout the journey, Ye Yixian remained shy and didn't dare to look at Lu Yuan much.
But she couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Is everything you're saying... true?"
"What?" Lu Yuan didn't react and asked subconsciously.
"It's just... that he... likes me... or something."
Ye Yixian became increasingly shy as she spoke, and her voice grew softer and softer.
Sure enough, it's easy to get shy in front of someone you like.
Lu Yuan wasn't embarrassed at all. After all, his soul was no longer that of an eighteen-year-old boy, and feelings needed to be expressed; hiding them would only leave regrets.
"Of course, if I didn't like you, why would I be good to you? Why would I worry about you?"
Lu Yuan looked at Ye Yixian and said seriously.
Every word struck Ye Yixian's heart heavily, leaving her feeling overwhelmed.
Lu Yuan's answer filled her with joy and happiness, but she was also very confused, "When...when did you start liking me?"
Ye Yixian couldn't understand it at all. She and Lu Yuan had never crossed paths before, and it was common knowledge that Lu Yuan liked Xu Lingjing. How could he suddenly like her?
In Ye Yixian's world, her intersection with Lu Yuan began with that school uniform.
Of course, she now knows that the school uniform was given to her by Lu Yuan, who took Gao Zhe's.
Lu Yuan knew Ye Yixian would have this question, and calmly asked, "Do you believe in love at first sight?"
"Love at first sight?"
Ye Yixian was even more puzzled. Had she and Lu Yuan met before?
But I was really not good-looking before, and my reputation was so bad, so how could he fall in love with me at first sight?
"Alright, actually, there's no need to dig into some things." Lu Yuan raised his hand and patted Ye Yixian's head. Ye Yixian was like a well-behaved kitten, enjoying his caress.
Lu Yuan continued, "Just cherish the good things in the present and strive to live each day of the future well."
"Mmm." Ye Yixian didn't press further, a happy smile spreading across her face. After walking for a while, she couldn't help but ask again, "So... are we lovers now?"
Not yet.
Lu Yuan shook his head and smiled.
"what?"
Ye Yixian was very disappointed, and his expression visibly dimmed.
Lu Yuan replied, "Not yet. Tonight feels a bit rushed. I do like you, and I believe you can feel it too, but we need a formal confession before we can be lovers."
"I want you to clearly understand that my feelings for you are not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but the result of careful consideration."
Lu Yuan spoke very earnestly, which warmed Ye Yixian's heart.
Indeed, a hasty kiss cannot compare to a formal confession.
Lu Yuan is indeed a bold and meticulous person.
Ye Yixian was very happy and began to look forward to Lu Yuan confessing his feelings to her.
Lu Yuan escorted Ye Yixian to the girls' dormitory. The two didn't exchange many pleasantries, as if they had already said everything they needed to say on the way.
Ye Yixian reluctantly went upstairs, turning back every few steps, her smile impossible to hide.
As soon as she got back to her dorm, she lay down on her bed and stared at the mosquito coil top, dreaming of a bright future.
She couldn't help but laugh, her happiness reaching its peak in her life.
Wang Qingyu, who was in the lower bunk, heard Ye Yixian's laughter and, curious about where she and Lu Yuan had gone that night and what had happened, she climbed up to her.
Ye Yixian was startled by Wang Qingyu and scolded, "Why did you climb up here instead of sleeping?"
Wang Qingyu grinned mischievously and reached out to Ye Yixian's bed, gesturing for her to lie down a little closer. She lay down as well.
Ye Yixian did not refuse and moved a little further inside.
Wang Qingyu said softly, "Something's wrong. You're acting very strangely."
Ye Yixian asked somewhat awkwardly, "What's wrong with me?"
"You've been smirking all night. Confess, did you and Lu Yuan have something going on?"
"No," Ye Yixian denied earnestly.
Strictly speaking, there was nothing between her and Lu Yuan tonight.
But she still felt she had gained a lot and was very happy.
"Oh, oh, oh, you still say you don't? I see you're grinning from ear to ear."
Reminded by Wang Qingyu, Ye Yixian blinked, adjusted her expression, and stopped smiling.
Wang Qingyu added, "Even if you don't say anything, everyone can see that Lu Yuan likes you, so you should... like him too."
"..." Ye Yixian recalled for a moment, was her liking for Lu Yuan that obvious? No, but since Wang Qingyu said it was obvious, she didn't refute it and nodded, "Yes, I like him too."
"Then do you have...?" Wang Qingyu asked, a little agitated.
Ye Yixian shook her head. "No, we're not dating yet."
Wang Qingyu's hopes were dashed. "Since you like each other, why not talk about it?"
He said it wasn't the right time yet.
"Okay, that makes sense. This is still a crucial stage for reviewing, so it's not appropriate to be in a relationship right now." Wang Qingyu expressed her understanding and still thought highly of Lu Yuan and Ye Yixian.
However, she felt a little disappointed. "Sigh! I really envy you and Lu Yuan for liking each other, unlike me... who has a one-sided crush."
"What's wrong with you?" Ye Yixian asked, turning over.
Wang Qingyu was even more disappointed. "Gao Zhe is ignoring me. I guess I'm not his type."
